Following Your Passion: Free Radicals
It is standard advice we hear all the time, to follow one’s passion. The time to do just that has come, but first we have to cultivate it.
In the past decade, technology and social media has provided business tools to those who never dreamt of having them. The Average Joe is now empowered to do more with less, make better use of time and work on his own terms.
People are becoming Free Radicals, who have the resources and opportunity to create the future.
Reimagining Work As We Know It
Free Radicals, the empowered individuals of today, are self-reliant, resilient and potent. Work isn’t just something told to them but has to be intrinsically rewarding, flexible and engaging.
Free Radicals are creators, who accomplish stuff often and have the occasional failure that adds to their learning. They scoff at bureaucracy, obsolete business practices and micro-management. They expect to be constantly optimized and aim for full utilization.
The Workers Of Today
Free Radicals, influencers, creators and technology rock stars are true believers of networking, the power of peer communities and meritocracy. They do what they love to do, and do it well because the work itself is gratifying.
They also make good money doing what they love to do!
Finding Your Passion
Simply following your passion isn’t enough, and a better way is to develop valuable skills that aren’t very common. This can help us navigate our career towards our liking.
One can also be aware of the automatic habits that have been cultivated in the course of our lifetime, like what we eat for breakfast, our health, career growth, and what we do to unwind. When we reshape our habits, our life changes.
